Monday, July 5th (1-5 PM EST):Special Stream Alert – Working on HiHelloRachel’s Shell Collaboration! If I have extra time, I’ll do additional building. Conversely, if I don’t get it done, I will finish on Wednesday’s early stream.
Tuesday, July 6th (1-5 PM EST): Special Stream Alert – Building my Secret Santa Shell for PixelatedFoxGaming’s Challenge. Same clauses as Mondays’ stream.
Wednesday, July 7th (12-3 PM EST): Building stream!
Wednesday, July 7th (5-9 PM EST):Special Stream Alert – Shell Tours For my Half and Half shell. If you’re still working on yours, you’ve got a few days still to get in your submission. Really looking forward to seeing these! Will also be debuting “My Best Friend’s Shell” Challenge at the end of tours (tours for this will be done on August 4th).
Saturday, July 10th (1-9 PM EST):Special Stream Alert – 10k Gallery Downloads Celebration! – This stream will be a build-a-long prompt and shell. I will publish the shell at the beginning of stream as well as put up the exact rules and prompt then, and anyone who can make it is welcome to build a long with me. TOURS for these will be Wednesday, July 24th at 5PM EST. Also, the thing I know I’ve been really waiting to announce – I will be hosting GIVEAWAYS during stream!! – I will be giving away FOUR Stuff Packs, TWO Game Packs and TWO Expansion packs – one per hour each hour of stream. I have figured out ways to make this international, and if you win I will do everything possible to get your pack to you ASAP. MUST be on PC, and on Steam or Origin to be eligible.
Sunday, July 4th: No stream
*I do apologize that my main stream challenges are missing from this schedule, but with SimNaNo having started July 1st, and all the special streams this week, things needed to be shifted around. Expect to see things settling down next week.
Upcoming fun stuff:
Community Challenges! – I will be launching at least one of these during this week, so it (or they) will be up by Saturday’s Celebration stream. Basically, these are “projects” that my stream viewers will “fund” with channel points. Once funded, I will then schedule the project and associated Special Streams listed. If you have any ideas for other projects like this, let me know!
Chat dictates my build – this is one of those fun “torture the streamer” things. After the challenge is funded, I will schedule a special stream in which anyone who can be there will be voting on details of my build – from the size, to the type, to the style, to the colors and packs used. Should be interesting, and fun for everyone!
Community Games Night – Once this is funded, I will schedule a special stream in the afternoon or evening (we’ll hold a vote to see when the best day/time will be for everyone) and we’ll play some interactive games. I have ALL of the Jackbox Party Packs on Steam that we can play, as well as all available You Don’t Know Jack trivia games, and/or Scribblio, Gartic Phone, Golf With Friends, and even a possibility of something like Among Us.
Also Announcing: My new Homes for Gnomes Village project: Another Community Challenge that, once funded, will be an interactive Shell challenge and special build a long stream (starting in August at the earliest) where I will give everyone participating (whether there for the build a long or just signed up via the Google Doc I will set up) a 15 by 15 outdoor room with a shell on it to decorate based on prompts I will be providing. Themes will be based on the base game gnomes in Sims 4, and the shells will be built by me to match. I will spin a wheel for each participant live on stream to see which gnome and shell you get, and your job will be to decorate it in the month following. Lastly, I will put together all builds into a huge downloadable Gnome Village lot (or lots if we have enough participants) and we will schedule a tour of all the builds! Again, you’ll have a full month to put your build together as a participant, and they will all be “tiny homes”, so this should not be too time-consuming or difficult for anyone. Depending on how this works (or doesn’t), I may do more challenges based on this general idea.
In Search of: I am also hunting for more streamers who are willing to collaborate on Inside/Outside shell/room/house swap challenges. This involves you building a set of rooms and decorating them, me building a shell and all the landscaping, and then switching said builds. I would then put together your rooms into a house and landscape it, and you would decorate the shell I made. For more info, contact me on Twitch or Discord.
SimNaNo: This started July 1st, and is the main reason for my main streaming challenges being missing from the above schedule. I want to get my current blog rotation finished at the very latest before July 22nd, so we’ll be visiting my Drifter and my Master Simmer stories this week.
The new July 22nd Cottage Living expansion will be doing all sorts of fun things to my schedule, because I will be dropping pretty much anything I’m still working on to pull out my Decades challenges (both the blog ones and the stream one). If I have not finished the generations of my Drifter, Master Simmer, and Mermaid Legacy, (blogged stories) they will just have to wait until they come up in rotation again, and the same goes for my Stream Not So Berry.
Also: do not forget that we have a shell challenge going at this time – only few days left to get in your entries for Wednesday’s tours!!
I am a 47 year old American wife, mother, and gamer. I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life, and enjoy it for the changing seasons. My favorite movie is Labyrinth, my favorite game is Sims 4, and I have tattoos related to both. My favorite colors are purple, red, and green. When I’m not playing games (which is rare) I also enjoy reading and crafting. I’m also an animal lover, and have had many types of pets over the years. Currently, I have a dog named Cassie who is a Jack Russel / Beagle mix and five young fancy rats (all of whom are rescues). I run this Sims 4 Blog where I post screenshots and stories about the different challenges I play. Also here are the Sims 4 challenges I've written, and a place for me to store all the Sims 4 knowledge I've gotten over the years. I am also a Sims 4/variety streamer on Twitch for my mental health, fun, and to meet new people. I am also in the EA Creator Network and an Ubisoft Partner, which is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting you!
